We no longer present white vinegar and baking soda, flagship products in household cleaning. Against stubborn marks, baking soda will act as an astringent and antibacterial to deeply remove dirt .
For this you will need:
- White vinegar

How to clean the other components of the gas cooker?
As with gas burners, you can apply the same treatment to the plates, knobs and grill as part of regular cleaning.
The plaques :
Mix a little baking soda with hot water then dip a sponge in it and wipe it over the dirty plate. White vinegar will work if splashes and grease residue have formed encrusted stains on the enameled surface. After applying the vinegar, rinse with hot water then dry the plates with a microfiber cloth.
Buttons :
If the pimples are far enough away from splashes of food, liquids or fats, they are not safe from it. In this case, you will only need dishwashing liquid to put on a damp sponge to scrub the pimples.
Grates :
As part of daily maintenance, simply immerse the racks in your dishwasher with the rest of the kitchen items. For monthly maintenance, you can soak the grills in a basin of white vinegar.
